Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The Weingarten Right is a right based on the US Supreme Court case NLRB v. Weingarten in 1975. This case establishes the right of a union member employee to have a union representative present at investigatory meetings with management.

Answer option B is incorrect. The bumping right is the right of a senior employee whose position may be eliminated, and who opts to take the position of a less senior employee instead of losing the employment altogether.

The less senior employee is 'bump' out of employment by the senior employee.

Answer option C is incorrect. Right of way is not a valid term for this scenario.

Answer option A is incorrect. Management rights describe the ability of management to manage their organization the way they see fit unless the management approach contradicts a union labor contract.

I feel like Management Rights might be a trick answer here, but I can’t recall the specifics.

I remember practicing a similar question about union rights, and I think it was definitely about having representation during investigatory meetings.

I think the right Fred is looking for is the Weingarten Right, but I’m not completely sure.
